    I'm having troubles installing High Sierra in Parallels 15.
    I got the image, and the installation startedt but didn't finish, displaying the following error.

    "the path /System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg is missing or damaged"
    a restart shows the same problem
    And its not a pproblem of the image, because it is working with virtualbox :)

    anyone can help me?

    thank you
    Manfred

    I had some issues creating a Mojave VM, mine eventually installed (just took a few tries for some reason) but in the end it's running like crap.
    If you've had success creating the VM with VirtualBox you can move that to a Parallels VM

    Not ideal, but it will get you where you want to go.
    If you get yours running smoothly maybe you could share some of your settings? I'd like to try and fix my Mojave VM before I give up on it.
